"Gossip Girl," based on the book series by Cecily von Ziegesar, ran for six seasons on the CW from 2007-2012.

While it was not critically acclaimed -- save for some Teen Choice Awards -- the series acted as a launching pad for actors like Blake Lively, Leighton Meester and Penn Badgley.

Exactly how the show will carry on the legacy is not entirely clear.

In the series finale of that show, Brooklyn-ite outcast Dan Humphrey (Badgley) was revealed to be the infamous blogger at the center of the show, but fans were quick to point out the inconsistencies with the narrative.

The "Gossip Girl" reboot comes at a time when networks are looking to beloved teen shows and franchises for opportunities.

CW is currently home to a "Charmed" reboot and FOX will this fall debut an off-beat take on a "Beverly Hills, 90210" reboot, starring the original cast.
